Been reading on the Daily Kos that that the Dems are challenging all the offices down there in VA Beach. I promise the Dem running for Treasurer that Snippy would vote for her.....

Snippy voted every time the polls have been open since they lowered the voting age. (Except a weird May City Council primary in the '80s. Snippy is still ashamed.)
Lean back in your History Chairs and reflect back on a time when REPUBLICUNTS were actually in FAVOR of SOMETHING! When even evil Dick Nixon favored EXPANSION of voting rights, not the SUPPRESSION the Republicunts do today.
On March 10, 1971, the U.S. Senate voted unanimously in favor of the proposed amendment. After an overwhelming House vote in favor on March 23, the 26th Amendment went to the states for ratification. In just over two months, the shortest period of time for any amendment in U.S. history, the necessary three-fourths of state legislatures (or 38 states) ratified the 26th Amendment, and President Nixon signed it into law that July.
At a White House ceremony attended by 500 newly eligible voters, Nixon declared: The reason I believe that your generation, the 11 million new voters, will do so much for America at home is that you will infuse into this nation some idealism, some courage, some stamina, some high moral purpose, that this country always needs.
Yeah, 18 year olds were old enough to die in Nam, they figured they were old enough to vote. Anyway, the electorate is waking up, and it isn't just the mainstream good ole boy party hacks that are getting the benefits.

Philly's primary results turned out well. We rejected the entrenched democratic bosses choices and put in more progressive people in the DA and Controllers spots. Seems to have energized the Left here. How did it go in VA?

Snippy's vote in the Dem primary would go to Northam, the non-progressive. He's a good guy from the neighborhood. Progressive Tom Perelillio (spelled wrong) is OK, tuu, but the Vagina is still fresh blood red with a taint of purple.
Snippy, the Republicunt, will probably cross over and vote for his personal Republicunt State Senator Frank Wagner. Terrible R'cunt hack with face lift, spray tan, two block long Mercedes, nasty attitude towards the working scum, etc. Love to see him beat Right Wing Party hack Ed Gillespie, certified POS.
Kind of like the strategy of voting Racist Republicunt, tuu. Vote for the torch carrier, Corey Stewart, to show the strong support we harbor for xenophobic Republicunt racists. (Isn't Republicunt racist a redundant redundancy?). Hey, this is The South, nobody would be surprised. He would get his as kicked by either Dem.
Say, who knew that a couple hundred Wal-Mart Tiki torches could make a gang of Republicunts look so good?
